The Blogger Made Me Do It: Sally Hansen Open Mica Night

Hey everybody!  I know you all are ready for my special little blame game in which I don't accept responsibility for my polish buying.  Today's guilty culprit is Yadi of Night Swatcher!  I am not usually somebody who is drawn to glitter toppers, but when I saw Sally Hansen Open Mica Night on Yadi's blog, well...I knew it should be mine.  After all, she specifically said we needed it in our lives. :)


YIKES!!  It's holo AND square!!  What a gor-gee-ous topper Open Mica Night is.  Look at that bottle shot!!  This lovely glitter spread well, but since it's so chunky, it needed a little help with landing in all the right places. ;)


I dabbed on Open Mica Night over Nicole by OPI Back to Reality...TV, which is a rather strange little number.  It's a dusty, deep periwinkle with a sludgy look about it, and it's got a pink shimmer.  It's very unusual, but I like it.  I debated on using such a flashy topper as Open Mica Night over it because of the shimmer, but I love the result.  Rule #3:  Shimmer makes the world a happier place!

Now, once more, let the colors and flash assault your eyes!!


AND...let me add one more thing to the awesomeness of this mani:  I used OPI's new Glitter Off as my base coat, so no worries about busting out the old foil tonight when I change.  I have read some negative reviews about Glitter Off, but I have to tell you that it works fantastically with my chemistry.  So, if you're like me, and butter LONDON chips like crazy on you, check out Glitter Off for all your non-foil, glitter-friendly needs! :)

Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely day! <3

  2. I LOVE the duo, it really is quite an unusual pairing. The glitters remind me of that OPI topper from last year's Oz collection. That was a terribly misbehaving glitter and this one sounds like it's a step or two up.

    2. You know...you're right about looking like When Monkeys Fly! But this is an extremely well-behaved glitter. I can't say enough good things about Open Mica Night...it's SO pretty. :)

    3. Actualllllly I was thinking Lights of Emerald City (squares and all) but those are iridescent, not holo, so this would be some sort of hybrid.

  3. Okay, so I might have to create my own version of "The Blogger Made Me Do It" with this combo!! The shimmer in Back to Reality...TV plays so well with the glitters in Open Mica Night!!! The combo is just glorious!!!!

    1. I can't HELP but have The Blogger Made Me Do It series! You ladies make everything look so delicious, and if you think about it, we all look so different that the polish HAS to look different on each of us. I'm glad you like the shimmer with the loud glitter! I'm loving it too. <3
